Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman today announced grassroots steering committees that she expects will help recruit volunteers and mobilize voters throughout the Bay Area and Northern California.

You read that first one correctly: a former Hillary Clinton supporter now in Meg Whitman’s camp. I called Annah tonight, and she said she’s “more of an independent than a hard Democrat or Republican.” As for Whitman, she said, “I’m attracted to the fact that she ran a big corporation and its been such a terrible mess with so many people in sac doing nothing, I’m putting my faith in her that she can turn things around … I see her as a doer because she has gone out there and proved herself.”

Memo to Meg; Talk to Michael Huffington, and Al Chechi. They too tried to buy the Governor’s office and a Senate seat, but voters balked at electing them. Californians aren’t too keen on rich people who try to buy political offices, thankfully.

Memo to Meg II: Also, we elect people who say they’ll “blow up the boxes” only to create more boxes.
